subject: Kernel32.dll Errors Do Not Require Special Software To Fix [print this page] If a program cannot access a memory module correctly, it results in a Kernal32.dll error. The reader probably wonders why this error merits a special Windows error code above the normal DLL errors that get generated. Most DLL files are libraries of code that are not vital to Windows system processes. The operating system kernel, as Linux users know, is a set of instructions that tells the computer how to handle files, the file system and some basic disk operations. If a person gets a kernel, the program he is will crash and a reboot of your operating system may be necessary.
A number of websites will try to convince you that this problem gets caused by registry errors, malware, adware and viruses. All of these things but the first item can cause kernel32.dll error, but none of them addresses the core cause. Kernel32.dll errors result from bad programming. Sometimes this is bad programming on the part of Microsoft itself, at other times it is caused by third party software. Kernel32.dll errors can also result if the original file becomes corrupted.
If this error results from a bug in software, there is little an individual do except wait for an updated version to come out and not repeat the process that caused the initial error. If this vital system file has been damaged, the easiest way to fix the error, which you will get consistently, is to replace the .dll file with the file on the Windows CD or from a copy of Windows that you know is clean.
Do not go to sites that promise to fix these errors that go on about malware and registry errors, as many of these sites offer programs that install viruses and Adware onto your computer. The causes of the problem that these sites give is usually not correct in the first place. Just try to track down the program that gives you the error and plan to fix the problem accordingly.
